The Singapore Zoo


I am not a huge fan of zoos.

However, I like that most of them these days are getting more and more mindful that animals need natural habitat enclosures. But mostly zoo's are sad places for me...so I don't go.

The Singapore Zoo on the other hand is an amazing experience. The enclosures are larger than most zoos and the animals look well-cared for. There are even a few rambunctous Monkeys that run around free and terrorize unsuspecting visitors.
You can get up close to the elephants and the trainers put on an unusual show... demonstrating the pachyderm penial extender. Tsk, tsk... and this is the family show!
